Cocktail hour, decade by decade
Two couples, one bar cart and a toast that changes everything, then the same table hosting fondue, shrimp cocktail, cosmopolitans and tapas for the decades that followed.

INT. DINING ROOM - DUSK
Candles flicker under the pendant light. A bar cart glints in the corner. Two couples, dressed to the nines, raise their glasses.
JOAN (30s), emerald dress, glances at her husband before she speaks.
JOAN
To old friends. And to whatever Richard is about to tell us.
RICHARD freezes, glass halfway to his lips.
SERIES OF SHOTS - THE SAME TABLE, YEARS LATER
1975. Fondue forks clink. Someone drops a cube of bread in the pot and owes the table a kiss.
1986. Shoulder pads, shrimp cocktail and a cork that hits the ceiling.
1997. Cosmopolitans go around. Two old friends finally admit who broke the vase in college.
2005. A digital camera on a timer. Everyone scrambles into frame before the flash.
Where you would shoot it
This is the real space, as it looks today.
A ceiling that sells the era
The wood plank ceiling and white walls give you period warmth and a clean surface for your lighting.
Furnished or empty
Shoot with the room furnished, or have it cleared for your art department to dress from scratch.
Evening shoots, no one to disturb
The house is unoccupied, so long nights and late wraps do not interrupt anyone living here.
Change what you need
Paint, wallpaper, fixtures and finishes can all be changed to match your production design.
See it in person
The house is unoccupied, with a property manager checking in daily, and now booking for 2026 to 2027 filming. Changes are welcome inside and out. Book a walkthrough and bring your ideas.
